Nearly six months into 2025, let’s delve into the market data to see where residential real estate is heading for the remainder of the year in both Ada and Canyon Counties. Both areas are experiencing a shift. The data is showing the majority of homes are selling under the asking price, however, we have seen a slight uptick in pricing in both Ada and Canyon Counties compared to 2024.  Let’s dive into the Boise Real Estate Market Trends for June 2025.

Ada County Trends in Selling Prices

As of June 2025, the median sales price in Ada County was $579,900, a 3.6% increase from last year, according to the Boise Regional Realtors. However, we’re also seeing a 30% increase in inventory compared to 2024, and fewer sales. More homes on the market with fewer buyers means longer days on market and more price negotiations.

So, how can prices be up when supply is outpacing demand? The answer lies in early 2025. A wave of buyers relocating to Boise, Idaho, that held off in 2024 entered the market in February and March, pushing prices upward temporarily. Since then, interest rates have remained high, and buyer activity has tapered off.

By April and May, buyers gained more leverage. Overpriced homes lingered, and many sellers began offering concessions to close deals. Our analysis of sales data shows how final prices compare to original list prices, factoring in seller-paid closing costs.

Market performance also varies by neighborhood. Some of Boise’s popular neighborhoods, such as Boise’s North End, Northeast Boise, and Garden City, saw more homes sell at or above asking compared to other parts of the county. This reinforces a key point: location matters. Homes that sold at or above asking typically featured:

Desirable locations (near Downtown, the Greenbelt, or key amenities)

Major updates such as new roofs, HVAC systems, updated kitchens/baths, or flooring

Priced under $450,000, especially for single-family homes

Value-add features like ADUs, shops, or income potentialIn Ada County, around April and May, buyers began to gain more leverage. Homes priced too high are staying on the market longer, and many sellers are offering concessions to close deals. We analyzed sales data to understand how final sales prices compared to original list prices, factoring in any seller-paid closing costs.

Ada County saw a 3.6% increase in price over 2024.

Canyon County Market Snapshot June 2025

In Canyon County, trends mirror those in Ada—many homes sold under asking, but areas with ongoing new construction showed more stability.

A Note for Buyers:

Rising construction costs are on the horizon. Due to new tariffs (25–50%) on steel, lumber, and other materials, we could see an $11,000+ increase per new home starting mid-2025 through 2026.

However, right now, builders are eager to offload spec inventory, often offering valuable incentives—credits for upgrades, rate buydowns, closing costs, and even discounted prices. This makes it a great time to explore new construction in Canyon County while builder prices remain steady.

As of May 2025, the median sales price in Canyon County was $433,490, a 3.2% increase over last year. But inventory is up 10%, and days on market have increased 4.4% since April. Buyer activity has slowed, leading to more homes selling below list price and more frequent seller concessions. In fact, about 75% of homes in Canyon County sold under asking in the first five months of 2025.

Canyon County saw a 3.2% increase in median price over 2024

Trends and Predictions for 2025

While both counties have seen modest year-over-year price increases, market conditions are shifting.

• Interest rates are expected to remain in the high 6% to low 7% range, keeping affordability tight

• Home prices are likely to remain flat, or dip slightly as days on market increase

• Buyer hesitation is growing, especially among those waiting for price or rate drops

Boise remains a desirable place to relocate, but challenges in other states, like homeowners struggling to sell, will impact demand here. The market may feel locally strong, but it’s not immune to national economic pressures, including inflation, tariffs, and uncertainty.

What to Know if You’re Relocating to Boise

New Construction: Material costs are volatile. Lock in pricing early and take advantage of builder promos while they last.

Interest Rates: If you see a dip, act quickly. Even small reductions can improve affordability significantly.

Relocators & First-Time Buyers: Boise’s lifestyle is a big draw, but keep an eye on mortgage trends.

Tactic to Consider: Negotiate for seller concessions to cover closing costs or buy down your rate.

Buyers should consider asking for seller concessions to buy down their interest rate or cover closing costs to make home buying more affordable.

How to Sell a Home in Boise

This is a market that requires smart pricing and patience. Overpriced homes risk sitting on the market and ultimately selling for less.

Here’s how to stand out:

Analyzing recent data from Ada and Canyon Counties provides us with insights into what we might expect this year.  Here are the Boise Real Estate Market Trends for February 2025.

Looking Back at Boise Real Estate Market Facts/Trends from 2024:

Ada County Trends in Selling Prices

As of December 2024, approximately 31% of homes in the Boise metro area sold for full asking price or above, a rise from about 28% in 2023. Nearly 70% of homes sold below the original asking price. Homes that sold at the asking price or higher typically spent about three days on the market, highlighting their high desirability due to sought-after features, locations, or competitive pricing. Conversely, homes that sold below asking lingered nearly 30 days on the market, with about half requiring a price reduction to attract buyers. In Ada County, December saw a slight dip in the median sales price for existing homes, while new homes experienced a modest increase, indicating a diverse market response. January we are yet to see how the market will react as homes slowly trickle on to the market.  Specifically, the median sales price for new homes was $534,818, slightly higher than existing homes at $520,000. Notably, new construction sales, representing 42% of all home transactions, are drawing interest with higher-end properties finding particular favor.

Canyon County Market Snapshot: 2023 vs. 2024

In Canyon County as of December 2024, 26% of homes sold for the full price or more, a slight decrease from 30% the previous year. Homes that exceeded asking prices took about 7 days to go pending, mirroring 2023’s data. In contrast, 74% of homes sold below the asking price, with an average of 35 days to go pending. Increased new construction contributes to longer market durations as homes are often listed well before construction commences.  Canyon County reported a slight decrease in the median sales price to $408,562, with existing homes holding a median of $380,000 and new homes at $439,480. The county saw robust sales in the resale market, highlighting a strong preference for more affordable housing options.  January has had a good start with more inventory coming on the market than in past years, mostly due to builders releasing more new construction, but home prices have remained where they were at the end of the year.

Trends and Predictions for 2025

Both counties show signs of a more balanced market with an inventory indicating healthy activity yet no significant price jumps are expected soon. The real estate market is predicted to remain stable, with new construction appealing due to attractive builder promotions.

Buyers’ Corner

2025 opens with fantastic opportunities for buyers, especially with builders offering promotions that can include up to $35,000 in incentives. These incentives can be applied towards buying down interest rates, covering closing costs, or upgrading features in new homes. Current interest rates are critical to monitor, and shoppers should compare rates and terms from multiple lenders to find the best fit for their financial situation. Areas to look at are Star in Ada County, Nampa, and Caldwell in Canyon County as we see a lot of builders in the process of completing builds in new communities in those areas.  These are also areas with a lower median price than their surrounding neighbors and with interest rates hovering in the 7% a lower price tag is very appealing to many buyers.

In today’s market, Buyers should consider asking for seller concessions to buy down their interest rate or cover closing costs to make home buying more affordable.

Sellers’ Advice

For sellers, the market demands a strategic approach to pricing. Homes priced too high at the outset are likely to linger longer on the market, potentially selling for less eventually. Patience will be key this year as buyers take more time to commit and may request concessions in negotiations. The advice is clear: price correctly from the start to capture buyer interest and maintain sales momentum. Seller’s should work with agents that know their neighborhood and have experience selling homes in today’s more fickle market.  Three main factors will help any home to sell:  1. Effective Marketing.   A home should look its best online and in person and target the right audience through real estate portals, advertising, social media and networking.  2. Timing.  Putting a home on the market with a lot of competition will slow down the process.  Time of year can make a difference such as listing during the holidays you can expect a home to sit for longer on the market with fewer buyers actively looking for homes during this period.  3. Pricing.  If a home is priced competitively or slightly under the competition it will go quicker than other homes listed.

Areas that are attracting a lot of buyers and often getting asking price or above are East Boise, Boise Bench, and Boise’s North End as unique homes in highly sought-after areas are popping slowly onto the market.  Meridian is highly desirable as home prices are often slightly less than in its neighbor, Boise’s home prices.

There are 3 factors that sell homes in today’s market:  Effective online marketing, Timing and Pricing.

Summary

As we navigate through 2025, both buyers and sellers in Boise and Treasure Valley must stay informed and adaptable. With stable home prices and exciting incentives on the table, this could be an opportune time for many to make their move in the real estate market. Whether buying your first home or selling one with years of memories, aligning with experienced real estate professionals will ensure you’re positioned for success in this dynamic environment.
